Chateau Pontet Canet is one of Pauillac’s historic Bordeaux estates, classified as a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux classification. Established in the 18th century, the estate is one of the few classified growths in Pauillac to use a horse-drawn plough in its vineyards, preserving soil structure and reducing compaction.
Pontet-Canet has extensive clay and gravel soils, which contribute to the depth, minerality, and structure of its wines.
